Braces Are Great and Braces Suck

Sorry to be a little crude, but I have to tell it like it is. There are two sides to braces. Braces are simply the best way -  fastest and often the most comfortable way -  to a great smile. But there is no getting around it, braces suck. You have these small things stuck to your teeth making it a little tougher to clean your teeth and you have to be more careful when you eat. Wearing braces is weird and uncomfortable in the beginning... until it isn't. You will be amazed how quickly you get used to them. After a few days to a week or two, they feel normal. Everyone gets used to the feeling of wearing braces.

Remember when you lost a tooth and it felt so strange to have that huge hole there? All you could do was to check it out with your tongue. You were obsessed with that feeling for a few days and then all of a sudden you realized it felt normal again. Same thing with braces - they soon feel normal.

You will totally get used to your braces, or almost totally. But you will be very happy when we take the braces off. You will love the feeling and look of your smile. You will think that it was worth it. Before that there will be times when the braces are a hassle. That is why we are dedicated to seeing your orthodontic treatment finished as soon and as comfortably as possible. That is why we use the Damon System of braces.

Braces are not the only thing that can suck. Crooked teeth suck. Not wanting to smile sucks. Putting off a great smile to a tomorrow that never comes, can suck.

I love what we are able to do for people. I have never been happier about the way we do it. But I never forget that you want your orthodontic treatment to be as quick and as comfortable as possible. My support team and staff never forget that either. We are obsessed with giving you a great smile in less time and in greater comfort.
